Jay Z who is Shawn Corey Carter in real life was born on December 4, 1969. Many know him as Beyonce Knowles’ husband but this famous American rapper and businessman has carved his own niche in the industry not only with a long list of hits but also with his successful business ventures. In fact, Jay Z has been name as one of the most financially successful hip hop musicians in America. He has a net worth of more than $450 million last year. He has sold more than 50 million albums around the world and has received 10 Grammy awards and a dozen more nominations.
Looking back at his earlier years, you’ll see a younger Jay Z in a difficult stage while growing up in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City. His father left him and their family when he was still a kid. At age 12, he shot his brother for stealing jewelry from him. He went to school in Brooklyn with fellow rappers like Notorious B.I.G and Busta Rhymes.
He discovered his penchant for music during his teenage years. The young Jay Z would wake up his siblings in the middle of the night by banging drumbeats on the kitchen table. When his mother bought him a boom box as a birthday present, this ignited his love for music even more. He started writing lyrics and composing tunes. He became known in the neighborhood as Jazzy, from which he got his stage moniker, Jay Z. The name also represented his musical mentor, Jaz-O and the J/Z subway lines in Brooklyn. During his career, he also used other aliases like Jiggaman, HOV and Hova. But it was Jay Z that sprung him to fame and fortune.

Jay Z did not like the idea of having his talents exploited by record companies. So instead of bringing his demos to big companies, he formed his own with friends like Damon Dash and Kareem “Biggs” Burke. This gave birth to Roc-a-Fella Records. Jay Z then made a deal with Priority Records, which distributed his album. His inherent business skills made the company a success.

His first album entitled Reasonable Doubt was well received particularly among the critics. It earned a gold single but didn’t spark the interest of the masses that much. It was his third album Vol. 2: Hard Knock Life that made him a household name in the mainstream rap industry. He then embarked on arena tours to increase his popularity even more. Upon the death of Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G, Jay Z became number one rapper on the east coast.

Over the next few years, Jay Z had sold more millions of records worldwide. His range of his include "The Originator's," "Streets Is Watching," "Can I Get Open," "Ain't No N**a," "You Must Love Me," "Can't Knock the Hustle" and "Feelin It," among many others.
